I want to export data from SharePoint list to SQL using SSIS.
In SharePoint list, i have a column as multi select, So i am getting below value in my column
1;#control 1;#3;#control 3
I want to use substring in derived column in such a way that i should get below result
1,3
I want only ID from the given column.
I have tried below code
SUBSTRING(ColumnName,1,FINDSTRING(ColumnName,";#",1) - 1)
But it only gives me answer as
1
Can anyone please help me out.?
Because there is an unknown number of controls selected in your SharePoint Multi-Select, a Derived Column transformation is not going to work for you. You'll have to use a script.
One way to parse your string is with regular expressions. You'll have to add an output to the script transformation and assign your parsed string to that output.
Regex controlExpression = new Regex(@"control ([0-9]+)");
MatchCollection controlMatches = controlExpression.Matches(--YOUR INPUT HERE--);
String output = string.Join(",",
(controlMatches.Cast<Match>().Select(n => n.Groups[1].ToString())).ToArray());
